I'm glad for you!
Personally, I tried it. Wasn't my cup of tea, bad safety margins (it doesn't drive how I drive, and I am particular). There's a consumer for that product, though. So long as you watch it closely, I certainly don't mind, glad it suits you.

Weird. What safety margin didn’t you like specifically? I have a short list of gripes but they’re not related to safety. Damn thing is a bit too safe and civil at times.

Poor anticipation of turns and poor trailing distance. Didn't spot many other vehicles on the road, too, that's ultimately what made me pull the plug.

What year Tesla? Sounds like my 2023 (HW3). The follow closely thing seems to have gotten better in the last couple updates tho.

2024, I didn't ask the dealership guy what hardware powered it (because I don't care), I reviewed it here actually: https://fuelarc.com/cars/review-2024-tesla-model-3-long-range-rwd/
I don't see how it could have gotten much better with a vision-based solution, but who knows? Personally, it wasn't in the same ballpark as acceptable quality for my use-case. I don't expect incremental software patches will fix that to my satisfaction.
Again, I'm weird, never been in an accident and I drive a ton, I'm particular about my car not crashing because I used to be on an ambulance crew and treating car-crash victims really takes the shine off your apple.
